 So i am using C++ in codeblocks and i have the following code inside a
function for e.g:

char* command = "curl smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587 -v --mail-from xxx_at_gmail.com
--mail-rcpt xxx_at_gmail.com --ssl -u xxx_at_gmail.com:xxx123 -T \"email.txt\" -k
--anyauth";
    int x = WinExec(command, SW_HIDE);
std::cout<<"code" <<x<<std::endl;

And the output on the console shows *code:33*
*Is this the return code of the command.Can i use this to check the success
of the sending process?*I am just learning networking so sorry if this is
pretty basic.
